[Translation into French and republication of: "Cancer-related arterial thromboembolic events"].

Cancer is associated with a hypercoagulable state and is a well-known independent risk factor for venous thromboembolism, whereas the association between cancer and arterial thromboembolism is less well established. Arterial thromboembolism, primarily defined as myocardial infarction or stroke is significantly more frequent in patients with cancer, independently of vascular risk factors and associated with a three-fold increase in the risk of mortality. Patients with brain cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer and pancreatic cancer have the highest relative risk of developing arterial thromboembolism.

EVolution in ALS diagnosis: molecular markers in extracellular vesicles.

The identification of biomarkers for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a central issue in disease research. In a recent article, Chatterjee et al. show that blood extracellular vesicles (EVs) with high levels of transactive response DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) accurately discriminate patients with ALS from controls and correlate with disease severity, providing a promising biomarker for early diagnosis and monitoring.

Purported Self-Organized Criticality of the Cardiovascular Function: Methodological Considerations for Zipf's Law Analysis.

Self-organized criticality is a universal theory for dynamical systems that has recently been applied to the cardiovascular system. Precise methodological approaches are essential for understanding the dynamics of cardiovascular self-organized criticality. This study examines how the duration and quality of data recording affect the analysis of cardiovascular self-organized criticality, with a focus on the beat-by-beat heart rate variability time series obtained from seven healthy subjects in a standing position.

[Translation into French and republication of: "Treatment of cancer-associated venous thromboembolism in patients under palliative care"].

Many patients with cancer require palliative care at some stage and the vast majority of people followed in palliative care are cancer patients. Patients with cancer are at high risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), and this is particularly true during the advanced palliative phase when mobility is limited or absent. Patients with cancer in palliative care are at higher bleeding risk compared to non-cancer patients.

Nivolumab in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma in France: interim results of the observational, real-world WITNESS study.

Background: Nivolumab is the first immune checkpoint inhibitor approved in Europe for the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma (aRCC) in patients resistant to prior antiangiogenic therapy. WITNESS is an ongoing, prospective, observational study designed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of nivolumab in patients with aRCC treated in real life (or routine practice) in France (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03455452).

Phase 3 Trial of Crinecerfont in Adult Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia.

Background: Adrenal insufficiency in patients with classic 21-hydroxylase deficiency congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is treated with glucocorticoid replacement therapy. Control of adrenal-derived androgen excess usually requires supraphysiologic glucocorticoid dosing, which predisposes patients to glucocorticoid-related complications. Crinecerfont, an oral corticotropin-releasing factor type 1 receptor antagonist, lowered androstenedione levels in phase 2 trials involving patients with CAH.

[Translation into French and republication of: "Central venous catheter associated upper extremity deep vein thrombosis in cancer patients: Diagnosis and therapeutic management"].

Catheter-related thrombosis (CRT) is a relatively frequent and potentially fatal complication arising in patients with cancer who require a central catheter placement for intravenous treatment. In everyday practice, CRT remains a challenge for management; despite its frequency and its negative clinical impact, few data are available concerning diagnosis and treatment of CRT. In particular, no diagnostic studies or clinical trials have been published that included exclusively patients with cancer and a central venous catheter (CVC).

[Translation into French and republication of: "Recurrent venous thromboembolism in anticoagulated cancer patients: diagnosis and treatment"].

Patients with cancer are at significantly increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), due both to the impact of malignant disease itself and to the impact of certain anticancer drugs on haemostasis. This is true both for first episode venous thromboembolism and recurrence. The diagnosis and management of VTE recurrence in patients with cancer poses particular challenges, and these are reviewed in the present article, based on a systematic review of the relevant scientific literature published over the last decade.

[Translation into French and republication of: "Management of cancer-associated thromboembolism in vulnerable population"].

Although all patients with cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT) have a high morbidity and mortality risk, certain groups of patients are particularly vulnerable. This may expose the patient to an increased risk of thrombotic recurrence or bleeding (or both), as the benefit-risk ratio of anticoagulant treatment may be modified. Treatment thus needs to be chosen with care.

GNN-based structural information to improve DNN-based basal ganglia segmentation in children following early brain lesion.

Analyzing the basal ganglia following an early brain lesion is crucial due to their noteworthy role in sensory-motor functions. However, the segmentation of these subcortical structures on MRI is challenging in children and is further complicated by the presence of a lesion. Although current deep neural networks (DNN) perform well in segmenting subcortical brain structures in healthy brains, they lack robustness when faced with lesion variability, leading to structural inconsistencies.

[Factor XI deficiency: actuality and review of the literature].

Although two clusters have been identified in France, constitutional factor XI deficiency is a rare disorder. Acquired factor XI deficiency is extremely rare. The management of factor XI deficiency is not staightforward because of the unpredictable bleeding tendency that does not clearly relate to the factor XI level.

Diagnostic accuracy of non-invasive tests to screen for at-risk MASH-An individual participant data meta-analysis.

Background & Aims: There is a need to reduce the screen failure rate (SFR) in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) clinical trials (MASH+F2-3; MASH+F4) and identify people with high-risk MASH (MASH+F2-4) in clinical practice. We aimed to evaluate non-invasive tests (NITs) screening approaches for these target conditions.

Methods: This was an individual participant data meta-analysis for the performance of NITs against liver biopsy for MASH+F2-4, MASH+F2-3 and MASH+F4.

Local mitochondrial replication in the periphery of neurons requires the eEF1A1 protein and thetranslation of nuclear-encoded proteins.

In neurons, it is commonly assumed that mitochondrial replication only occurs in the cell body, after which the mitochondria must travel to the neuron's periphery. However, while mitochondrial DNA replication has been observed to occur away from the cell body, the specific mechanisms involved remain elusive. Using EdU-labelling in mouse primary neurons, we developed a tool to determine the mitochondrial replication rate.

The Impact of Histological Variants on Oncological Outcomes After Surgical Resection of a Nonmetastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma with Tumor Thrombus: A Multi-institutional Study.

Background: There is no definitive evidence of the prognosis impact of histological variants (HVs) in patients who undergo surgical resection of a nonmetastatic renal cell carcinoma (nm-RCC) with venous tumor thrombus (TT).

Objective: To investigate the impact of HVs on the prognosis of patients with nm-RCC with TT after radical surgery.

Design Setting And Participants: Patients who underwent radical nephrectomy with the removal of the venous TT for an nm-RCC were included in a retrospective study.

An experience of multidisciplinary tutorials sessions about antibiotics in the third year of pharmacy studies in Angers, France: learning assessment and evaluation of students' feelings by a mixed approach.

For undergraduate pharmacy students, the first step of antimicrobial stewardship learning objectives is to integrate antimicrobial knowledge from the foundational sciences. We hypothesised that using a multidisciplinary approach including two sessions of tutorials could be relevant in term of students' interest, satisfaction and learning retention time. The evaluation of students' feelings was based on a questionnaire including different dimensions and three focus groups with four students.

Carboxyhemoglobin half-life toxicokinetic profiles during and after normobaric oxygen therapy: On a swine model.

Investigations on acute carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning struggle to highlight a relevant discriminant criterion related to CO poisoning severity for predicting complications, such as delayed neurological syndromes. In this context, it remains difficult to demonstrate the superiority of one method of oxygen (O) administration over others or to identify the optimal duration of normobaric 100% oxygen (NBO) treatment. Myoglobin, as hemoglobin, are a potential binding site for CO, which could be a source of extravascular CO storage that impacts the severity of CO poisoning.

When to ablate in Brugada and early repolarization syndromes.

Introduction: Mapping advances have expanded both the feasibility and benefits of ablation as a therapeutic approach, including in the treatment of two heart conditions that contribute to sudden cardiac death in young people: Brugada syndrome (BrS) and early repolarization syndrome (ERS). Although these conditions share a number of similarities, debates persist regarding the underlying pathophysiology and origin of the ventricular arrhythmias associated with them.

Areas Covered: By synthesizing available data (PubMed), including current recommendations, pathophysiological insights and case reports, patient registries, our aim is to elucidate and establish the nuanced role of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in therapeutic management.

[Delta hepatitis in Africa: epidemiological and clinical particularities].

In 2022, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections caused 1.5 million deaths, mostly attributable to complications from chronic infections, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Despite the availability of a vaccine, 296 million people were chronically infected in 2019.
